Our Services
As a consultant specifically for the veterinary
profession, I am in a position to know the rules and develop
practical ways to apply them at your hospital. Therefore, you can
have a hospital safety program that complies with OSHA's Standards
without a major personal time investment. But perhaps the best part
of my program is how simple it is to keep up - most hospitals can
stay in compliance with less than two hours a month!
Since every hospital is different and some need more
assistance than others, there are several levels of service
available.
The Complete Safety
Implementation Program
As the name implies the complete program is
just that-complete! I'll observe the hospital in action then
document the required programs for compliance. Here's what you
get for your money:
The fee for this service in most hospitals is $4,250 plus the
direct travel and lodging expenses for the consultant. It usually
requires two days on-site to implement.*
Safety Review & Staff Training Program
For the hospital with a workable safety program
already in place, this visit will focus on evaluating the hosptial's
facilities and procedures so the manager can refine the program. And
since we’ll already be on-site, we throw in some expert training in
safety issues for the staff! This service includes:
- A comprehensive safety assessment of the hospital procedures
and facilities.
- A written report of the conditions as well as recommendations for
an appropriate solution to any situations that violate safety
principles or OSHA Standards.
- Evaluation of the existing Safety Manual or written
safety policies. We’ll suggest revisions and improvements to make
the manual compliant with OSHA and industry standard practices.
- A staff training session that covers common hospital safety issues
and reinforces the prevention methods that employees should follow
to protect themselves and stay in compliance with governmental rules
- Twenty-five staff training workbooks and 19 safety videos for use in training future
staff members.
- Six months of unlimited telephone or email support to your hospital for
discussing any safety related issue.
The fee for this service in most hospitals is $2,950 plus the direct
travel and lodging expenses for the consultant. It requires one day
on-site to implement.*
A Controlled Drug Program Analysis
A comprehensive review of the hospital's controlled drug program
for compliance with the Controlled Substance Act and DEA
requirements. This service includes:
- A detailed review and detailed report of the controlled drug
procedures and policies.
- Evaluation of the physical and procedural security of
controlled drugs, including access controls.
- Analysis of purchasing and dispensing records (logs) to
identify potential problems that may indicate non-compliance or
possible diversion.
- An audit trail analysis for a select number of “log entries”
to verify consistency between logs and medical records.
- A staff training session to present best practices and
regulatory requirements for staff members with access to
controlled drugs.
- A copy of The Complete
Veterinary Practice Controlling Controlled Drugs Manual
including customizable examples of logs and forms.
- Twelve months of unlimited telephone or email support to
your hospital for discussing any controlled drug related issue.
The fee for this service in most hospitals is $4,250 plus the
direct travel and lodging expenses for the consultant. It usually
requires two days on-site to implement.*
* Note: Quoted fees for consultation programs are
based on a small to medium sized hospital (25 or fewer staff members)
with a single facility location. If your hospital is larger, has
multiple facilities or your needs are more complex than the plans
outlined here, just give us a call and we can prepare a proposal
suited to just your needs!
